DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Chief Collision Technology, part of Vehicle Service Group (VSG) and Dover (NYSE: DOV), has introduced Constellation, the collision industry's first mobile 3D hail damage scanning system. The new product provides a complete workflow system, tracking hail-damaged vehicles from the initial damage incident, through the claims process and finally to vehicle repair.

"With Constellation, we saw an opportunity to develop a solution to improve the way the industry handles hail damage that is faster and more accurate," says Bob Finkle, brand manager at VSG, "Today, when an adjuster comes out to a CAT site, he or she tallies hail dents manually, leaving a large margin for human error. Constellation's innovative technology eliminates the need for manual review, delivering an exact count of hail dents with an accuracy rate of 90 percent or greater." 

The mobile system can be deployed and set up quickly at any location within 24 to 48 hours and can accommodate everything from small passenger vehicles and SUVs to pickup trucks. The automated and touchless system uses 3D technology to quickly scan the vehicle, identify, count and calculate the size of each hail dent and create a record that can be used to estimate the cost to repair the vehicle.
